What Can Massage
Really Do?
Far
beyond simply "feeling good", massage has an impressive range
of therapeutic effects and benefits.
With a variety of hands-on methods, a skilled Massage Therapist not only
stretches and loosens muscle and connective tissue, but also greatly improves
blood flow to the heart and the movement of lymph fluid throughout the
body.
The Therapist's hands speed the removal of metabolic waste products, allowing
more oxygen and nutrients to reach the cells and tissues.
Sensory receptors
in skin and muscles "wake up", bringing new awareness to areas
that have felt "cut off" by chronic tension and pain.
In addition, massage can stimulate the release of endorphins-the body's
natural painkillers-into the brain and nervous system. All this translates
into an amazing number of tangible benefits!
